My current project may include some WPF work. I had to brush up on it a bit, but love the new hot reload feature.
I always preferred the Dark Theme but couldn't recall how to use it.
Oh yes, the Resource Directory thing.
<Application.Resources>
<ResourceDictionary>
<ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
<ResourceDictionary Source="Themes\ExpressionDark.xaml" />
</ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
</ResourceDictionary>
</Application.Resources>
This means the project has a themes folder with ExpressionDark.xaml.
But we had to use Nuget to get the theme.
I remember this persons' name from 7 years ago. Glad to see package is still there. Wow! Thanks Stan...
Then I needed to recall the use of StackPanel, Grid, RowDefinition, Button, Label and TextBox.
<StackPanel Background="#333">
<Grid Margin="50,20" >
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition ></RowDefinition>
<RowDefinition ></RowDefinition>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<StackPanel Grid.Row="0" Height="30" Orientation="Horizontal" HorizontalAlignment="Left">
<Button Width="120">Best Article</Button>
<Button Width="120">Best Project</Button>
<Button Width="120">GitHub</Button>
<Button Width="120">StackOverFlow</Button>
<Button Width="120">MSDN</Button>
<Button Width="120">Azure</Button>
</StackPanel>
<Grid Grid.Row="1" Height="30" Margin="0,10" >
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="40"></ColumnDefinition>
<ColumnDefinition Width="400"></ColumnDefinition>
<ColumnDefinition Width="150"></ColumnDefinition>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Label Grid.Column="0" HorizontalContentAlignment="center" Margin="0,0,20,0">URL</Label>
<TextBox Grid.Column="1">https://dev.to</TextBox>
<Button Click="ButtonGo" Margin="15 0 0 0" Grid.Column="2">Go</Button>
</Grid>
</Grid>
</StackPanel>
Button Click Handlers, Margins and Grid Column Placement
<Button Click="ButtonGo" Margin="15 0 0 0" Grid.Column="2">
And off we go...
